Vitamania
1 x 90’, 2018, HD
This year $90 billion will be spent on vitamins and supplements. Every week, a new benefit is claimed. At the same time, vitamin pills are decried as a waste of money and their producers condemned. Many doctors claim most vitamin products are useless, or can even be harmful. Others point to peer-reviewed research showing they can be lifesavers. How do we decide what to take? How do we sort the sense from the nonsense? We ask presenter Dr Derek Muller.

And Fine-Tuning

Vulva 3.0 looks at sex education, censorship, the airbrushing of women’s bodies in pornography, cosmetic genital surgery, and the work of activists against female genital mutilation - and in doing so celebrate the diversity of the female body.
